A couple weeks ago my friend Lindsay and I went to the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival. I love Sheep & Wool and look forward to it every year! There's so much to see it's hard to fit it all into one day.
There are lots of sheep!
This is Steve, a Natural Colored ram. Sweet guy!
And of course there is wool. I bought a few things...but I wanted to buy a LOT more than a few things. This is some Blue Faced Leicester (BFL) top, ready for spinning.
And some BFL locks, undyed.
And BFL dyed locks. (I think I need a few BFL ewes now)
The grayish wool is Masham (I had never heard of it before), and the blueish is Merino.
I got some assorted roving colors for adding to my fiber stash.
There was yarn everywhere. I loved the walls of yarn from this vendor.
LOTS of people.
Lots of good food...I always get a gyro.
There was a vendor there with amazing needle felted animals!
Lindsay and me
I got a chance to meet an online friend from a fiber forum. She lives in PA and traveled down to the festival. She was so nice, and she came down with a group of really nice women.
I already can't wait until next year's festival!
